AF can be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnoea, and dizziness. Finally, we discuss recent data regarding fibrosis biomarkers that could help diagnose atrial fibrotic substrates.Ītrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and is associated with a substantial economic burden and significant morbidity and mortality ( 1, 2). We also describe the risk factors for its development and how to diagnose its presence using imaging, electrocardiograms, and electroanatomic voltage mapping. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the pathophysiology, etiology, and electrophysiological aspects of atrial substrates promoting the development of AF. Although atrial substrate evaluation remains complex, several diagnostic resources allow for a more comprehensive assessment and quantification of the extent of left atrial structural remodeling and the presence of atrial fibrosis. Nowadays is one of the most common cardiac ablation procedures performed worldwide, with its success inversely related to the extent of atrial structural disease. Catheter ablation of AF has developed into an essential rhythm-control strategy. Rigorous assessment of the presence and degree of an atrial arrhythmic substrate is essential for determining treatment options, predicting long-term success after catheter ablation, and as a substrate critical in the pathophysiology of atrial thrombogenesis. 4Department of Cardiology, Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht, Maastricht University, Maastricht, NetherlandsĪtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the population and is associated with a significant clinical and economic burden.3Comprehensive Health Research Center, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.2Lisbon School of Medicine, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.

Aldi, but I hope all of this will be sorted out and know in my heart that his character will outshine all of this ugliness. I’m not sure of anything else I can do to help Mr. I noticed that most people avoided her for the rest of the conference, while Isaac was recognized by one of our Congressmen (from prior correspondence between them) as a patriot. “I’m not sure if someone from the Leadership Institute addressed her behavior, but I hope they did. I encouraged him to sit with me and my friends when we went back into the general meeting in case she decided to attack him a fourth time, and fortunately, she did not. Adi’s demeanor and his graceful response to everything that occurred. Whether it is slanderous would have to be determined by those who know Mr. Isaac shared with me that she had done this three times that day, which is harassment, pure and simple. This is not the behavior becoming of an education leader or a public figure. I looked them up on the website for the district and was able to identify the woman as Darbi Boddy. I was shocked to learn that she sits beside him on the Lakota School Board. I told him that it didn’t really matter whether she was telling the truth or lies her behavior was unprofessional and completely uncalled for. Isaac told me that everything she said was a lie and began showing me his social media to try to prove she was lying.

I should note that the seminar was being recorded by the Leadership Institute, so I hope they will have a full recording that can be obtained by Mr. One of the ladies sitting near me observed aloud that the same woman had done the same thing in an earlier seminar during the summit. She was largely ignored, though there was an uncomfortable buzz and the microphone was brought to the next person to comment. She finished her lengthy statement and sat down, never having asked a question. I began taking video and caught the tail end of her diatribe. Adi was just a few rows behind me and a few seats over, and I saw the look on his face and was just so grieved over how sad he looked. She pointed at him backwards (sic) across the table. “She accused him of not being a conservative and of supporting and protecting a pedophile, along with a litany of other things. Adi that she read directly off her cell phone,” Bolduc wrote. “Rather than ask a relevant question, this blonde woman who was otherwise strikingly beautiful and professional in appearance unleashed an sic) verbal assault on Mr. She just took advantage of having a microphone to publicly demean and insult me with her lies.” Boddy’s attacks on me at the Leadership Institute conference had nothing to do with the conference topics. Most concerning was her falsely accusing me, in front of the group, of supporting and protecting a pedophile. Boddy was loud, rude and made numerous false statements about me. “At all three attacks on me at the conference, Ms. Also attached, is an email to me from another conference attendee, confirming Ms. Boddy’s harassing confrontations at the conference that led to my anxiety and concern for my safety.

I thought I was well versed in the art of Lego Star Wars, but this is something else entirely. Related: Star Wars The Last Jedi First impressions Lastly, there are two Porgs, new creatures that are due to make their first appearance in the upcoming The Last Jedi. There’s also Rey, Finn and BB-8, as well as Old Han, so you can reenact events from The Force Awakens. Leia and Han have alternate faces with gas masks on them, and there’s also a Mynock figure – you can simulate the space slug belly scene from The Empire Strikes Back. There’s Young Leia, Young Han, Chewbacca and C-3PO. I’ve mentioned that the sensor dishes are interchangeable to represent the Falcon in both original and sequel trilogies – this extends to the mini-figs too. The Falcon itself rightly steals the spotlight, but the figures are also excellent. He also pointed out it that it weighs 11-12kg, so while Lego is at heart a toy company, the 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon isn’t really something you’d want to ‘swish’ either.įinally, the figures. Some of the panels fit as a result of gravity and friction alone, and would therefore fall off if the structure was mounted on a wall. He said no, but recommended against wall-mounting this Falcon to save space. I asked Jens if there was anything he couldn’t incorporate for structural reasons. The designers said they had a tough time balancing structural integrity with detail, but they got there in the end. It’s a complex build, with Lego Technic parts used as the skeleton and regular Lego pieces layered on top for aesthetics. I wasn’t able to open all these panels for a closer look, but I can confirm that there are some lovely passageway decorations, with stickers cleverly used to simulate depth. There’s a Dejarik game table, a hidden floor compartment, escape pod hatches, an access ladder to the gunnery station, and an engineering station with a swivel chair. Individual panels on top of the ship can be lifted off to reveal detailed inner sections. The cockpit opens to fit four characters, which means the 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon is made in true mini-fig scale – more on those later. The shape worked, but since the tie piece was brown to represent straw, it had to be remade in space grey. Michael Lee Stockwell, design manager for Lego Star Wars, proposed the hat piece worn by Master Wu of the Lego Ninjago series. Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, director of Lego Star Wars design, was struggling to find the right piece to represent the centre of the round sensor dish. Now for a bit of trivia that was revealed at the event. The original round one seen in The Empire Strikes Back feels just right to me, but younger fans more familiar with The Force Awakens will appreciate the rectangular one. There are even two flavours of sensor dish, to cater for different generations of Star Wars fans. There’s a boarding ramp that lowers a hidden blaster cannon upper- and lower-quad laser cannon. Take the hull alone: there’s so much texture, greebling, and sheer variety of parts that you could imagine that this thing is capable of take-off.įor those of us who know the ship inside-out, there are numerous neat touches. The 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon isn’t just a big ship, it’s a beautifully detailed one. It might just about fit on there, with a slight overhang, but then breakfast would have to be elsewhere. That makes the 75192 Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon bigger than my coffee table. It stands at 21cm tall, 84cm long and 56cm wide. It’s the biggest Lego set ever, comprising 7541 pieces. Forget about shelf space, because no shelf is going to be big enough to be home to this model. I was lucky enough to be present at its launch in the flagship Lego store in London’s Leicester Square. Nothing could have prepared me for the awesomeness – nay, the majesty – of Lego’s latest: the 75192 Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon. At 47cm long and 32cm wide, it occupies a great chunk of shelf space. I didn’t actually have to make space for one until late 2015, when a 1329-piece version was launched to coincide with the cinematic release of The Force Awakens. Another, at about 350 pieces, is the size of your average dinner plate. The first is made of 44 Lego bricks it’s a little crude, but it fits in my shirt pocket.

Most introverts tend to avoid the spotlight at all costs. Being able to coolly assess your to-do list and think about the best course of action helps to get things done in an efficient manner. In PR, you rarely find yourself working solely on one project instead your day generally consists of multiple juggling acts. This approach proves especially helpful when multitasking. Instead, we calmly assess the situation and thoughtfully yet quickly devise a plan of action. In these situations, introverts do not outwardly show that they are overwhelmed. In the PR field, there are moments of crisis more often than not. Allowing ideas to sit and crystallize before we share them with a team or a client may make us come across as reserved, but generally proves successful in the communications world. Not because we are necessarily shy, but because we like to think before we speak. Generally we introverts are people of few words. We Communicate Sparingly, Yet Strategically Nothing makes people (especially clients) feel better and more important than knowing they’ve been heard and understood. I think this is particularly useful in a profession where you’re working with clients on a daily basis. Whether I am in an internal meeting, speaking with a client or grabbing a coffee with a co-worker, I am always striving to be a better listener than talker.Īs introverts, we have an exceptional quality of enjoying listening, rather than waiting for our next turn to speak. I think you’re the only person I’ve ever met that could sit in a room full of people all day and enjoy listening more than talking.” I have to say I agree with him, and I’ve tried to apply this quality to my work. Someone once said to me, “I’ve noticed you like to observe. The majority of introverts are extremely sensitive listeners. Once I feel I have a read on someone and he or she has a read on me, I relax, open up and let myself communicate freely. I value getting to know people, learning what they like and what makes them tick. While this can sometimes work against me when I’m shy to speak up in a meeting, I put a lot of time and energy into building individual and personal relationships. Personally, the larger the group I am in, the less I speak up. Since this quality can often be misconstrued in a work setting, here are a few attributes that can be used to the introvert’s advantage in the public relations field: We Care About Building 1:1 Relationships The biggest differentiator between introverts and extroverts is the quality of drawing energy from short-lived moments of solitude, as opposed to large crowds full of chatter and excitement. But, who says introverts are poor communicators? In reality, we just communicate in different ways. It sounds like a paradox, right? We generally expect public relations professionals to be outgoing and loquacious - and most of all, excellent communicators. I know, an introvert working in public relations. Patients that need help most urgently can be stored at the top and the list goes down. Patients can be stored in the queue in accordance to their condition. There are numerous real world applications of priority queues and the ability to delete elements from the queue serves great purpose. Whether one wants to delete one element or many, the class provides options to do it all. Overall, there are many different ways that one can delete elements from a priority queue. This method as seen, deletes all elements from the priority queue. The code for this can be seen below: priority_queue pq This method deletes all elements from the priority queue without deleting the actual structure. That begs the question, what if we would like to delete everything from a priority queue? There happens to be a way to do this as well. However, the above methods we have discussed only entail ways to delete one element from a priority queue. This ia also a great way to remove a specific element from a priority queue. that line deletes the element 30 from the priority queue This code can be seen below: priority_queue pq Thie method will keep the original priority queue without the element that needs to be deleted. Along with creating a new priority queue without the desired element to remove, one can utilize the erase function. This method goes along with method two as there is no specific remove element function in the priority queue. There are a couple other ways to delete elements in a priority queue which we will look at next. This would require an additional O(n) space complexity and would take O(n) time. This is a great way to remove a specific element without doing too much work. An example of using the pop function on a priority queue is shown below: priority_queue pq After deleting the top element, the next highest priority element becomes the new top element in the priority queue. It means that the element with the highest priority is deleted from the priority queue. The pop() function removes the top element from the priority queue. Pop(): The simplest and most common way to delete an element from the priority queue is by using the pop() function. The 4 Different ways to delete elements in a priority queue in C++ STL are: In this essay, we will discuss different ways to delete elements in a priority queue using C++ STL. C++ STL provides various functions to manipulate priority queue, including deleting elements. The element with the highest priority in the priority queue always appears at the top. The priority queue automatically arranges elements in a particular order based on the priority. There are 4 different methods such as pop, clear and much more.Ī priority queue is a container in C++ STL (Standard Template Library) that allows users to store elements with different priorities. In this article, we have presented different ways to delete elements in a priority queue in C++ STL. If you set up it to exclude a particular part of your traffic, your ISP and other third parties can track your activity again. While there are beneficial use-case scenarios of split tunneling, you should also beware of its drawbacks. Also, you can integrate it at the router level, with the ability to pick which devices you need to protect, and which don’t. You can manually configure split tunneling on Windows 10, Android, and various other operating systems. This approach is inverse split tunneling, otherwise known as “split-exclude.” You can use this type of model to customize what traffic to cut from it. You may also want to protect certain activities, like P2P file-sharing, while keeping the rest of your traffic outside the VPN tunnel. Hence, you can exclude your bank’s website from the VPN tunnel and have access to two regional services at the same time. Services, like online banking, usually flag VPN connection, as it looks like it’s coming from an unusual place. You need an IP in a different country to visit your bank account, but without needing to disable your VPN. Let’s say you need to access overseas and local content simultaneously. It can come in handy when you want to manage your digital life in more detail. It can be useful for those who don’t prioritize complete protection gained by a VPN. In other words, it lets you choose which traffic goes through your regular, unprotected ISP network. It’s a technology that creates separate ‘tunnels.’ When one of the tunnels leads through a VPN, the other goes through the default passageways. Split tunneling allows you to choose which devices, applications, or websites use a VPN connection and which don’t. So, to split or not to split? What is split tunneling ? Yet, you should beware of possible risks when leaving your data open. There are specific cases when split tunneling your VPN can come in handy. Whereas the VPN tunnel encapsulates all data by default, split tunneling lets you choose which traffic parts you want to secure.
